Fall in love with Fair Isle all over again — warm, traditional, colourful, and unmistakably Shetland.
If you’ve ever been captivated by the magic of the Shetland Islands, this beautiful book is a gentle invitation to dive deeper.
Written by Alison Rendall, a Shetland native who’s been knitting since childhood, Fair Isle Knitting Tradition brings you straight to the windswept northern isles where this iconic style was born. Alison’s designs are admired for their authenticity and heartfelt connection to Shetland’s knitting heritage — and in these pages, she shares that knowledge with knitters of every level.
Inside you’ll find 14 classic Fair Isle patterns, including sweaters, mittens, socks, headbands, and even a charming dog jumper. Working step-by-step, Alison guides you through all the essentials: choosing yarns and needles, understanding charts, managing colours, and mastering the rhythm of stranded knitting.
Many of you will recognise Alison Rendall as the designer of the 2023 Shetland Wool Week hat, the Buggiflooer Beanie. This beautiful design has undoubtably been, and continues to be, our most popular selling kit by far.
Buggiflooer Kits are still available and you can take a look at our colourway options here.
For UK delivery, we use Royal Mail’s Tracked 24 and Tracked 48 services. Provided goods are in stock, every effort will be made to dispatch your order the next day during shop opening hours, 1-3 days when the shop is closed.
